I dunno. I always assumed it was a control fuel like the v8 supercars run, but they were saying at the start of q1 that the fuel supplier to redbull are expecting to gain 1/10th of a second from their new blend.

Whatever they have been using has been damaging the nearly infallible fuel flow sensors.

Maldonado Says Crash wasn't his fault

I can't believe sponsors still want to put their name to him. And I think he could have saved it if he hadn't locked up just before he hit the wall. Car looked like it was about to swing back

Anyway, great to see Dan up there again. Not so great to see that Mercedes are 1 second ahead of everyone. It's hard to believe that they are so far ahead, surely it can't all be engine?

It shows how much better a driver Grosjean is then Maldonado, seen as they were put in the same basket a few years ago

I think Maldonado annoys me so much because he constantly screws up then blames everyone/everything but himself, when alot of the problems seem like rookie errors

The issue now is that its a good thing he has bought money to Lotus now. But I'm worried for what will happen to the team when he decides they must be against him like Williams were because he isn't winning races, and by then Lotus may have lost alot of potential sponsors because of Maldonado. I don't want Lotus to fail

Romain had a cracker! Had problems all race but still grabbed a solid 8th. Was good for a 5th olr 6th if the think ran on all 6 cylinders for the whole GP.

So RBR is clear no.2...from there its l;ooking rather close between Fezz and Williams with Force India and Lotus sticking their noses in from time to time.

LOL, all hail King Dennis...he is doing a stella job at McLaren!!!! :)

I dont think the Lotus has the speed to defend down the straights problems or not at the moment sadly

If you looked at the Lotus during the early and closing laps it had the lap speed to keep the Williams honest and Fezz behind....problem was they had an instrument problem that cut power for periods of the race and at times was only running on 5 cylinders :(

Keen to see how Romain goes at Monaco...god knows he over drove last year and had a shocker

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
